Rules of GenCon

I agree with this statement, and think it would be fun to come up with some other rules for GenCon. Not legalise kind of rules, but how about "Rules for a Successful GenCon." I'm sure that we will come up with some great ideas. Please add your own. . .

Rule 5: Thou shall move quicky and efficently through the hallways. Rule 5 Admendment A: If thou desires to photograph a cosplay or are a cosplay and desire to be photographed, move thy behind to the side of the hall!

Rule 6: Respect and courtesy. "Please," "thanks," and "excuse me" are among the simplest of phrases and can go a long ways to making anyone's day a lot easier and smoother, whether we're talking another gamer, a concession worker, or a cosplayer.

Rules #8: Thou shalt not use wheelie backpacks in crowded area, especially the Dealer Hall. I have had enough toes run over or kicked a stationary hardcase, wheel thing too many times. I shouldn't have to wear steel-toed shoes to walk around.

Rule 10: Though shall remember that backpacks are weapons, especially in crowded dealer halls.
Ended up with a broken nose and black eye from someone stopping and turning fast. I'm short, got the full backpack slap.

Rule 13: get enough sleep that you aren't a zombie (unless participating in a zombie walk). Seriously though. Try to power through on 2 or 3 hours a sleep and by Saturday you'll be useless and miss the best day of the Con.

I can understand a little crack showing when twisting or bending, but I had the misfortune of sitting near someone in the Rio Grande room who's whole hairy rear was exposed just while sitting. I'm not a small guy, so I understand how hard it can be to find clothes that fit well, but surely that guy could feel the breeze. /shudder
